5 TRAVEL TIPS WITH ROBERT TATEOSSIAN

Summer is finally here and Robert Tateossian – the king of cufflinks – shared with us his ultimative travel tips, for business and holidays.

What are your essential items when travelling that you never fly without?
My multi plug adaptor and noise cancellation headset are a must. Since I am always on the road I also have a pouch that contains medicines to cover any type of eventuality.

Do you have an inflight grooming regime?
I always pack a sleeper suit if getting on an overnight flight and drink a minimum of a litre of water. I try to keep alcohol to a minimum though I enjoy a nice glass of wine on board. If the flight is less than 7 hours and it is an overnight flight I always eat before boarding. I also moisturize before going to sleep.

And what are your top tips for looking fresh after a long-haul flight?
When home after a long-haul flight I try to go to the gym for a light session on the lifecycle machine to get the blood flowing.

What is your go-to flying wardrobe?
I do not like to travel in track suits as I feel as if I am going to the gym. I like to wear something that reflects my mood and always think of the climate of where I am landing. I always travel with clothes that will wrinkle less easily and that are not too tight. Always pack a sweater because no matter how warm the temperature is likely where you land it can be freezing cold on the aircraft.

Do you pack light or heavy?
Though travelling light is very convenient my several pieces of luggage are always marked heavy – lift with caution.
